Details

[Edit]

Recorded in 1953 and originally released by Disques Vogue as Live in Paris Vol. 1 & 2, this collection finds jazz giant Dizzy Gillespie working with Don Byas (tenor sax), Nat Peck (trombone), Hubert Fol (alto), and Bill Graham (baritone), with further assistance from pianist Arnold Ross. Although this set is mostly instrumentals, we also get exuberantly theatrical vocals from Joe Carroll, while Sarah Vaughan delivers her signature sultriness on "Embraceable You." A strong mix of both original numbers and classics (from the Gershwins and Irving Berlin, among others), this is another example of why Gillespie is one of the most beloved artists in the entire jazz pantheon, recommended for casual listeners and serious fans alike. Check out "Somebody Loves Me," "Afro Paris," "They Can't Take That Away from Me," "On the Sunny Side of the Street," and "Mon Homme."
